I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”~M-

I'll say... well enough to have ~expectations~ of how you would play as both alignments, even if those may not be entirely accurate.In post 1647, Datisi wrote:based on the reads you have of me here, that is the feeling i got. i also got the feeling it could've been tmi, if you'd said you didn't know me *that* well.-

see - im not actually sure not voting him has the benefit you are describing - i think if you actually vote someone and start a wagon other people have to react to it and state a willingness to join or notIn post 1639, Datisi wrote:
i don't have issues with the reasons you had to scumread donIn post 1577, scamper wrote:didnt know what to do with my vote
i'm asking bc i think there is a clear scum benefit to not immediately voting him but consistently pressuring him (mainly, figuring out the availability of the don misyeet)
bc your vote was on me to ~sort me~, so i'm curious why you weren't using your vote on don the same way
and i think that if i had wanted to push a don wagon, regardless of alignment, i would have. i just didnt feel it was the right play. and its kind of wild to me that this is the thing im being questioned on the most although i guess with the lac of action otherwise in the game it makes sense
anyway to answer your question, its because while i felt i could do that with you and just engage you in a conversation don was a little more...aggressive and probably wouldnt take it that way. if i had to guess i was questioning him because i was still wavering between whether he really believed the stuff he was saying or notnot actually skitter.-

I'm pretty sure whoever is scum did know that was very likely to happen. scamper did also say in 1230 that Saturday night was when the thread is starting to turn against Galron, and the thing that I chose to comment on was that I was getting more suspicious of Galron. He found that scummy, but I think it's towny, because I didn't make any attempts to push elsewhere despite things starting to move towards my partner.In post 1650, Datisi wrote:

i mean, i am like, *aware* that having a vote on someone is generally a better way to nudge their yeet on than just by talkingIn post 1653, scamper wrote:see - im not actually sure not voting him has the benefit you are describing - i think if you actually vote someone and start a wagon other people have to react to it and state a willingness to join or not
but the fact that your votes don't match your words, and your treatment of me doesn't match the treatment of don, and that is ~weird~, and i'm trying to figure out if it's scum-weird or just weird. because i can see a potential way scum could try to use a situation like this - like, this is more likely to be overlooked as a push later because you didn't use your vote, you get to argue it wasn't that strong, etc - while still trying to see how viable don isI will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again.

Okay, we can bring things back here, I think. I'm going to bed. Datisi, you'll have a while to yourself. Most of all, if you do think that it's more likely to be me, I'd ask for you to summarize your main reasons why, and hopefully we can talk about them later.
A couple questions, one small and one less small:
1) Did you mean anything by your intro post? It sounds a little sarcastic, but I'm not sure why.
2) At what point did your read on me start to change? I feel like a lot of that progression isn't visible, can you track through when it happened and why?
I'll try to wake up a bit earlier than usual to be here around when scamper gets here.-

1) i was poking fun at ausuka. the day before this game started, the two of us were playing keep talking and nobody explodes, where one person is defusing a bomb, and the other person is walking them through it. i was the bomb defuser, and i died multiple times. thanks, ausuka.In post 1662, Coral wrote:A couple questions, one small and one less small:

2) i had a lot of problems with scamper's play that i thought were scum-indicative, but as the day progressed i found their answers about my concerns to just be... good? other than that, i still find a lot of his play to be town indicative that i laid out in earlier days.
it's not so much that my read on you changed, it's that my read on scamper shifted, and yours didn't shift in the way that would allow you to keep being +town over scamper.
i can go into this in a little bit more detail in a few, because i don't know off the top of my head what specifically made me shift, but yeah.
i'll be revisiting stuff anyway, and i probably won't be voting until both of you are around either way, because i think anxiety about leaving my vote out without confirmation whether it's correct would eat me aliveI will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again.

yeah, when i entered the day, by far my biggest issues with scamper's play were:
- didn't have a good case on why meg is town, but kept strongtownreading them anyway
- seemed to ignore me when i kept asking them about why meg is town
because i thought that *that* showed a degree of tmi-ness on meg's alignment, and if scamper is scum then it's in his interest to be defending te d3 yeet if he's gonna be facing off two people that pushed them through
but i think his answers about his read on meg make sense, and otherwise his play just feels town to me. not because of any big events, but because of smaller stuff that feel like inconsistencies that scum don't make or don't think about faking it
i wish i could summarize my reasons for thinking it's you, but i don't exactly *have* them - it's just that i have better reasons to think scamper is town than i do thinking you are
because if i had good reasons to think one of you is scum, i'd have voted a long time agoI will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again.

i think the best explicit reason why you're more likely scum, or like a moment that explicitly shows scum motivation, is when you decided you wanted me to vote firstIn post 1664, Datisi wrote:i wish i could summarize my reasons for thinking it's you, but i don't exactly *have* them - it's just that i have better reasons to think scamper is town than i do thinking you are
i was not in the mood to argue that last night because i was barely keeping my eyes open, but
in my mind, it would make sense that a townie would want whoever they're scum to vote first. because if scum votes first, you know the game is not going to end yet. and like, if you're town who thinks i'm town and who sees i'm leaning you, then it seems very counterintuitive to me for you to want *me* to vote first. because if i'm town and i vote town!you, that's that, gg. whereas even if scamper!scum votes you first, you still have a chance of convincing me
and even if you do want me to vote first anyway, then i'd expect town!you to actually be presenting more reasons why i should reconsider voting you and instead vote scamper and etc etc. where your 393 in the hood is just *weird* from town-you because it's showing a resigning "well idk how to actually convince you if you're town" attitude which (1) is odd compared to your attitude earlier, (2) is odd becauseyouwere the fake-hammer vote on me
and also shortly after deciding you want me to hammer first, you start going into potential mechanical problems with my play, which is just... very peculiar timing
like, i absolutely hate that the perhaps best reasons i can point out as scum motivation of someone all happened within like 24 hours before the game's end, because i feel like i should have better reasons and longer-lasting reasons, but
idk i'm tired i didn't sleep much last nightI will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”~M-

i realistically do not know the answer to that. even if i thought an ari lim was viable at some point, pushing ari is a risky proposition as scum because ari is a scary player when she senses something is off, the kind of player i try to avoid attracting attention of as scum. so i don't necessarily know that i would try to "exploit" it, but i would maybe not try to intervene as much as i did. when a townie is aggressively pushing other townies - e.g. crescent or marcistar from last game, i am generally gonna let them keep doing that. i defended marci that game because i realized taking her to f5 was the winning play but i also showed skepticism toward her without really trying to talk her down from her tunnels. i think as scum i *maybe* let ari/aus keep rolling and let it take over the thread because that sort of conflict tends to sap the energy from everyone else in a gameIn post 1665, Datisi wrote:i'd quote the post but i don't remember when it was made or in which thread

i have said it though maybe not directly addressing this - as town im way more likely to let my emotions get the best of me and fly off the handle like i did at meg on day 1. i realize this is *completely* unverifiable without town meta on this account but as i said i was a lot more in control in the scumgame. i could fake that but i think in general in games its better to appear calm & rational unless you're really in a corner. i would maybe say an example of this is in that mini when corwin blew up at me, i just went something to the effect of "wow this is gross & unnecessary", because i knew he was digging his own grave by getting so angry in response to me. of course, he was the traitor, but at the time i *thought* he was (probably) town i had provoked into a raging meltdown. and i just kind of brushed off his attacks because they didn't mean anything to me.In post 1666, Datisi wrote:
has this been outed yet?In post 987, scamper wrote:i do have a reason im town but im not sure how convincing it will be, hopefully it doesnt matter
i think the difference is that as town its a lot more irritating to me to be falsely accused, because i *know* i am innocent. and so when someone is pushing me for reasons i know are bad, i get heated because they are either scum intentionally misrepping me or town who is being a big illogical dummy. and so when meg was pushing me day 1 i couldnt resist trying to tear apart their arguments because i just wanted to do everything i could to shut them down. part of it was i was really trying to read them since they can be a quiet player otherwise but also i justreallywanted to "win" the argument. and i think that passion only comes from town!me. as scum, i don't think i get that upset because - why would i? no one is all that likely to take megazumarill's reads all that seriously. its much easier to brush those type of accusations aside. its also the case where getting into a 1v1 like that isnt really tactically beneficial, its unlikely to persuade people and might even make them dislike me. better to discredit and minimize that type of player. but as town, im *not sure* of megs alignment, and so i have this paranoia where im vacillating between "this is a tunneled townie" and "this is scum making a bad faith push" and im not really sure and so i keep arguing trying to figure something out. its maybe not the wisest play but its hard for me to back down there.
so, again, not really verifiable but i dont lose control toward meg like i did this game as scum.not actually skitter.-

that is also a difficult question, because i think as last scum standing your play and mindset is not all that different from playing as a town - its just that you know your win condition is to survive, but otherwise the arguments you make will be fundamentally similar, you look for people with the worst associatives to push, etc. i think *maybe* i realize a player like coral is too high a degree of difficulty to push, *or* i go all-out effort on casing her rather than being kind of hesitant on it, but other than that i really do not know what scum!me does differently here. i think the path to victory for me would not look all that different from how things have played out.In post 1668, Datisi wrote:scamper, if you were scum this game, how do you think you play d2?not actually skitter.
